From the author of the famous science-fiction novels "The War of the Worlds," "The Invisible Man," and "The Time Machine" comes a story about an ideal world. Here there is no malice, envy, lies, or dangerous animals. Everyone lives in harmony and prosperity, as if the gods themselves—wise, beautiful, strong. But what will this world be like if people from the 20th century end up in it—with all their self-interest, cruelty, greed, and desire for power? Will they be able to understand this utopia and not destroy it?
